Name: Grilled Pork Chops with Potatoes and Grapefruit
Prep time: 40 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 1 h 10 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 lb (675 g) fingerling or baby potatoes, halved; 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil; 1 tbsp salt; 1 tsp red pepper flakes; 1 garlic clove, finely grated; 4 bone-in pork chops, each about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) thick; 2 cups (60 g) watercress or arugula; 1 cup (30 g) Thai or Genovese basil leaves; 1 pink grapefruit; 6 tbsp (90 ml) mayonnaise; 1 shallot, finely chopped

Preparation

Pork Chops and Potatoes
- Preheat the grill, setting the burners to medium-high. Oil the grate.
- In a bowl, toss the potatoes with the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on a large piece of foil. Tightly seal into a packet.
- Place the foil packet on one side of the grill. Close the lid and cook for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine the salt, red pepper flakes and garlic. Season with pepper.
- On a plate, rub the pork chops with the salt mixture on both sides. Let sit while you cook the potatoes.
- Flip the foil packet over and continue to cook for 5 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden. At the same time, grill the pork chops for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until just pink at the centre or until a thermometer inserted in the centre of the meat reads 125°F (52°C). Transfer the meat to another plate and let rest for 5 minutes. The temperature will increase to about 135°F (57°C). On a work surface, slice the meat.
Dressing
- Meanwhile, on a work surface, trim off both ends of the grapefruit. With one flat end on the work surface, cut off the peel down to the flesh. There should be no white pith remaining. Over a small bowl, slide a knife between each membrane to remove the segments and to catch the juice. Set aside 1 tbsp (15 ml) of the juice in another bowl. Cut each segment into 2 or 3 pieces. Drain before serving, as needed. Compost the peel, pith and membrane.
- Add the mayonnaise and shallot to the bowl of reserved grapefruit juice. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
- On a large serving plate, arrange the watercress, basil, meat and potatoes. Garnish with the grapefruit pieces. Serve with the dressing.
